Here's a look what's happening this week at RCHS.
Meet our Communities in Schools liaison, Mrs. Doak, or the "school mama" as most students refer to her. For those who are not familiar with Communities in Schools, their mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. They also help link educators and parents with the community to bring resources into the schools to create a network of support that keeps kids in school and engaged in learning. If you feel that you or your child would benefit from Mrs. Doak's resources, please reach out to her by contacting the school.
Meet the smiling face behind taking our student's breakfast and lunch numbers every day!
